Shelton Leadership Challenge Institute (First Year)

What is the Shelton Leadership Challenge Institute (First Year Course)?

The General Shelton Leadership Challenge Institute is one-week focusing on General Shelton’s cornerstones of values-based leadership, which are integrated throughout the experience. These cornerstones are honesty, integrity, compassion, diversity, and social responsibility. NC State University’s General H. Hugh Shelton Leadership Center collaborates with professionals in the fields of youth development, military, education and high school students who attended the institutes previously, to develop and implement a youth summer experience focusing on leadership skills. The scope and sequence of the curriculum intentionally plans for development of leadership skills for all levels of participants: Students, Peer Leaders and CMT’s (Coach, Mentor, Trainer). These skills include facilitation, individual and team reflection, and evaluation.

The core curriculum focuses on Leadership Roles and Accountability, Team Building, Leadership Styles and Situations, Motivating Others, Citizen Responsibility, Integrity as a Leader, Public Speaking, Changing Behaviors, and Goal Setting. Reflection is a key component for each exercise and daily review. Students are placed in leadership roles and participate in a 360° evaluation conducted by the Coach, Mentor, Trainers (CMTs) and Peer Leaders.

The Shelton Leadership Center seeks to provide hands-on activities that assist developing young leaders to become more confident leaders back in their communities.
